  • Company of Heroes
  • DirectX 10 update to Company of Heroes
  • 2 DVI-to D-Sub adapters
  • 6-pin power cable
  • Audio cable
  • Manual
  • Driver CD
  • XFX Do Not Disturb sign

XFX really went all out with their bundle. Company of Heroes is a recent game that is set in World War II. The inclusion of a game in a video card bundle rocks as it gives you something to do with your new card without paying extra for it. XFX went further than this by including the DirectX 10 Update DVD to the game meaning that the new user can play the game in all its visual glory.

The manual is always an excellent starting point for new installers and I would suggest newbies to use it ;). Hardware-wise, the XFX card comes with an audio cable, a 6-pin power cable, two DVI-I to D-Sub adapters and the XFX Do Not Disturb sign that I have a copy of hanging on the test lab door. The audio cable is for the S/PDIF Out port on the board. The DVI-I to D-Sub adapters are a bit redundant in this day and age where everyone has a DVI monitors (At least everyone having a 9800GX2 is not likely to have an analog CRT monitor).
